The hosp indicated that the tie wrap (line 5 connection e) could be rotated with very little pressure around the tubing it was securing.Since no product was retuned for eval, based on the complaint, photographs and feedback from the hosp, the tie wrap either was applied to the tube incorrectly or was not inspected properly.As for the leaks occurring at the in/out connections to the pre-bypass filter, no cause determination can be made since no other info or kits were supplied.The hosp has requested a design change to add tie wraps to these connection on future kits, which is currently in process.The hosp is not going to return any kits and will not require us to review stock.They have advised that they will add an add'l tie wrap, if required.The loose tie wrap issue was discussed with the manufacturing personnel and they were re-trained on the proper manufacturing and inspection methods for tie wrap connections.(b)(4).
